For the Week #1 Project, you need to review the early theories of human development (Freud, Erickson, and Piaget). You will look at similarities and differences, and you will review the elements of diversity among those theories. Once you review the information, you need to formulate a 2-page Microsoft Word document (NOTE: your Title Page and Reference Page are NOT part of the 2 pages, and NO Abstract is needed). Follow the items noted below:

Write your paper using APA (I have helpful tips below as well):

o   Introduction

•    o

▪  5 to 7 sentences with the final sentence stating the ‘purpose of this paper is…’

▪  This paper will focus on ‘state the topic’

▪  ‘The purpose of this paper is to ‘state the assignment detail’

o   Body

•    o

▪  Paragraph One, two and three

▪  In 5 to 7 sentences, ‘Describe Freud theory regarding development’

▪  Paragraph Five

▪  In 5 to 7 sentences, ‘Explain how these theories were developed and why there is concern related to race, gender, socioeconomic status, and other areas of diversity’

▪  General Reminder…Cite sources within the body of the paper and use a page number if

you are directly quoting

o   Conclusion

•    o

▪  5 to 7 sentences restating paper content

▪  Restate what you were writing about (topic) and put in your reflections as ‘the author’ rather than ‘I’

o   Reference Page
